We enjoyed our first camping trip back in the spring!
It was a success!
We enjoyed a hike through the TX wildflowers.
Happy Hikers!
Grandma Johnson came to help out during Jeremy's finals.
Fun memories with Grandma!
Matilda took her first flight to Chicago to see Sweet Mama graduate with her Master's of Spiritual Formation and Evangelism from Garrett Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, IL.
On a side note... The little blue sweater was Jeremy's when he was a babe.
Enjoyed a walk with the graduate on the Northwestern campus.
Matilda sported her red shoes in support of Sweet Mama, sharing in the tradition of the female graduates wearing red shoes... Matilda is proud of her Sweet Mama!
and, a fun family photo that was taken during our trip!
We flew home from Chicago for about 48 hours and then jumped on another plane and headed West to Santa Cruz, CA for Jamie's (Matilda's godmother's) wedding! We were so glad to be part of the celebration!
Beautiful Ladies enjoying lunch at the Crow's Nest!
Enjoying Aunt Pam and Uncle Pete's back deck!
Time with very good friends! Mr. Ron married Jeremy and I, and He and Mrs. Jacquie continue to share in the joys of life with us!
Matilda's first glimpse of the Pacific!
Cousins! I hope Matilda has the opportunity to be as close to her cousins one day as I am to mine!
Santa Cruz is by far still one of our favorite vacation spots! We always get to catch up with family that we love and friends that mean the world to us!
Upon our return, I headed over to Louisiana for Memorial Day weekend so that Matilda could see some of the Louisiana family, and we captured a couple of good photos with my mom and grandmother!
Four generations of women!
and, the summer continued on... I can't believe it's already August!
